Tasting Note

Impenetrable opacity, presents a slightly prickly sensation in the mouth and then bursts out smilingly with thick gobs of bramble jam and exotic black cherries and black raspberries. The tannins are chewy, agreeably abrasive, and, twinned with the angular acidity, create a pucker-sour-sizzle combination which confronts the palate with plenty of difficult textural adjustments. You can almost smell the colour of this distilled purple juice; it's as if the skins had been freshly ripped off the flesh and just finished fermenting in the glass.

Product Notes

An enchanting Portuguese gem, Aphros Vinhao Vinho Verde Tinto is a vibrant, deep red wine boasting a unique profile. Its vivid flavour palette balances berry notes with the natural tartness of Vinhao grapes. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious blend of succulent fruitiness and refined acidity, alongside a tad effervescence, typical to the Vinho Verde region. Its light bodied structure is complemented by an unforeseen complexity. Aphros Vinhao's robust and earthy character makes it an excellent companion for hearty dishes. Lovers of versatile, full-bodied reds will surely appreciate Aphros Vinhao Vinho Verde Tinto's distinctive attributes.
